Whats best is always regional.

Overbuilt solar is going to win at, say, the edge of the gobi desert.

But its not going to necessarily be practical at high latitudes, or locations with tons of rain/cloud cover, or places where geothermal is easy. And long distance power transmission is very difficult.
